This Sunday will be a family Sunday (no preschool or K-5th children’s church). There are activity bags in the back for kids to use during the service.

We’ve had to make some adjustments in our programs this week due to flood damage in the church basement. The trustees and other volunteers have been working very hard! Please continue to pray for all those affected by the flooding and for those volunteering their hard work. There is no use of the church basement including kitchen and bathrooms until it is fixed.

ADOPT A BARCLAY STUDENT

The college years are a crucial time in a young person’s life. Would you consider adopting a college student at Barclay College and encourage them for one school year? This is an opportunity for you to connect with a student and encourage them during this pivotal time of their lives. This ministry will not only impact students, but you as well, in seeing God working through you to make a difference in the life of a student.

Suggestions:

Commit for one school year.(September – April)

Contact the student at least twice a month through the method of communication that is agreed upon. (text, email, letter, phone call)

Send the student a care package once a quarter. The college address is:607 N. Kingman, Haviland67059

Pray for the student weekly for their prayer requests.

Send the student a birthday card.

Celebrate the student’s progress and achievements.

For those families in Haviland or the surrounding area, you may consider hosting the student for a meal, or invite them to get away from the college for some down time.
